"It Won't Happen to Me"

Safety Presentation

James gives a candid account of how the choices he made, meant he would now spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

The one hour presentation covers:

  • Prevention (including near misses)
  • Looking out for fellow colleagues and workers
  • Return to work / life
  • The rippling effect on friends, family and workmates
  • Accountability
  • Self-responsibility
  • Adjusting to the many changes caused by the accident including mental, physical and emotional challenges
  • Motivation
  • Culture
  • Concludes with interactive session, where James answers the many questions posed by the presentation

 

‘James’ presentation was the highlight of the day and this was because it was an honest and passionate account of his experiences and the impacts on his life since the accident. His genuine approach tempered with humour greatly assisted his message in ‘hitting the mark’ with staff. They were awakened with the reality that it is their actions that will impact on their life and others forever.’
